Q:How would you describe your lifestyle and how does it inspire your works?
A:I would describe my lifestyle, as artistic, disciplined and inspiring. I am a dancer and a dance movement psychotherapist trainee so I consider myself very lucky and so my lifestyle to be privileged.

Q:Do you travel outside of work? What is your favorite place in the world and what impression do you get?
A:I don't travel as much as I would like to but if I can nothing beats a sunny weather and the sea. I love Corsica for its beautiful nature beaches and Rome for my family and friends and the food :). I have many places that I love and that I would love to go to, but I would say Fernando de Norohna in Brazil is one place where I would love to go back to. It’s a natural reserve in Brazil, the beaches and the ocean are incredible. It's very hard to go there but it's really worth it.

Q:What would you do in your leisure time to relax yourself?
A:Personally I would love to travel more, maybe move to California and in a few years’ time. I love yoga, and walking in Hyde Park or just hanging out with friends.

Q:How would you describe your dancing style? How is it different from other dancers?
A:I would describe my dancing style as contemporary. I've trained in Trinity Laban and I am now studying dance movement psychotherapy. So dance improvisation is a big influence in my work that's where I find the inspiration and ideas for my choreographies.

Q:Which field did you channel your energy into recently? Is there any new project that you want to do?
A:Gaga dancing, dance improvisation are a big part of my work. I also love to go see performances, when they're good I get really inspired. I love when different art forms come together to give birth to a beautiful performance. I would love to do a performance that would mix music dance and visual arts. I love projects that are useful to the community as well. I would love to collaborate with the dance company Fallen Angel who's a dance theatre company that works with recovering addicts I find their work incredible. There is many subject I would love to talk about in my dance like trauma, fear etc...
I also love to mix dance and visual art. The project that I am working on at the moment are dance videos.

Q:What are your plans for the future, both personally and professionally?
A:MY PLANS professionally are to become a certified dance movement psychotherapist and to make the world aware of this new therapy, to use dance as a tool to heal people. On an artistic level to continue collaborate with different artist on dance performances / videos. I also would love to teach more and maybe one day to build my own dance company.
Personally: I would love to travel more but overall I’m quite happy where I am right now.

Q:Finally, what would you suggest to our readers to keep a joyful life and mind?
A:I would suggest them to practice meditation, to be in nature at least 30 min a days and to develop a healthy and loving relationship with their body, mind and soul. But mostly to practice empathy towards themselves and others and to avoid negativity.
